What a horrible showing last week. It could be a confidence-killing loss. Will Y'Barbo's words be hollow?

Or, will the Mean Green bounce back offensively? SO MANY QUESTIONS! :ermm:

I expect this game to be MUCH different from last week. I'm expecting the offense to come out with their hair on fire. I'm hoping our mole (Rice) can contribute something to our coaches as to what SMU might do. I expect the run game to be on point. I expect our QB's will complete more passes to our guys than SMU's, but I'm also expecting at least 1-2 turnovers.

SMU looked about as inept as we did last week. I don't think Baylor's defense is as good as UT's. I don't think UT's offense is as good as Baylor's, so that's a wash. Both teams were humiliated last week and will have much to prove this week.

Easy formula this week: Win the turnover battle, win the game.

Hopefully the recruits we're both after are attending, because, barring a meltodwn, this will be a UNT win, and could turn into multiple UNT wins... Apogee advantage will dash any hopes for the ponies.

Please, please, pretty please Greer: Show us something.

North Texas: 27

SMU: 17

Attendance: ~29,500

Thanks for the correction. I'll fix it: Southern Methodist and/or Philosophical University

SMU goes down in defeat and sends the pony to the glue factory-unt 24-SMU 20, 23K at the game. I took 7k off my other estimate because of our play in Austin. Not to beat a dead horse but i watched the Baylor-SMU game yesterday and the SMU freshman qb look fairly good. I know it was Baylor 2nd and 3rd string but the kid stood up to the rush.

Sagarin rates us 91st, 2 spots behind powerhouse New Hampshire and 11 behind SMU. Based upon his formula, we are a 4 point dog at home. Over the decades I have found Sagarin the most accurate of any rating service. Could be a real pillow fight, although the Mustangs have a QB that looks like he can scramble.I make it 21 to 7,SMU.

I don't believe any ranking system with one game on the board. With that small a sample size, it is a guessing system.

This. Sagarin is only worth anything after there are enough connections (which takes several weeks)

It will be a pillow-fight, that's for sure. We looked as bad as I have ever seen and that is saying a lot! SMU looked bad against Baylor as well but Baylor was ranked and Texas was not. Central Arkansas, N. Dakota St., and S. Dakota St all did better than we did last week against ranked and/or B12 opponents.

But, in the end, the Safeway Bowl will come down to who wants it most and that is us.

SMU is not a church school. You can take a philosophy class instead of a religious class for the general credits.

It was founded with Methodist money. Sorry you can't get over that :D

If it were really a religious school it would require a church/religion activity and it does not.

      It was a huge issue in the NBA for a bit so they came out and said an offensive player swinging their arms before a shot is not part of a natural shooting motion and therefore should not be considered a shooting foul. It seems to happen less now. I don't watch every game though. https://videorulebook.nba.com/archive/foul-not-in-the-act-of-shooting-foul-occurs-on-side-to-side-motion-during-rip-thru/

      No one knows the specifics of the deal, it's not public knowledge. People are waiting for this year's tax returns so they can see the public data that shows how much each school made, and then see how much it changes over the next few years. So unfortunately all we know is that by the end of the contract everyone will be making the same amount, and that's it.

      Sissoko has just been a different player in conference and I'm here for it. Lorient of course was MVP, but Massie and Floyd need some props for coming through this game. We really need for them to give us 6-8 points a game consistently and we are going to be looking good. Horrible foul call on Walker on that 3. Also they need to change the rules where you can't move your arm into a defenders hands that are already there to create contact for a foul, that's absurd. You can't even stand there as a defender? It needs to end.

      I don’t want to be that guy, but we have a good crowd for a great game and our defense was pretty much amazing all night. How do you sit in your hands and not get into the game? My wife and dogs thought I was crazy watching at home cheering on the good guys. I just don’t get it. The Pit should have been rocking. Students looked great, @greenjoe and I believe @Matt from A700 from shown a few times up and active along with others, but overall our crowd had got to get loud. I was never a fan of how NBA announcers cue the crowds but we may need to get Rob Coffee to start some “D-Fense” chants.
